Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Rigorous petrogenetic interpretation of data from melt inclusions (MI) and their host phenocrysts commonly requires knowledge of the crystallization pressure. Pressures of trapping of MI are commonly estimated based on the HO and CO concentrations of the inclusions, but their original concentrations may be modified as a result of various post-entrapment processes. Most studies of mafic magmas employ olivine- or pyroxene-hosted MI, largely based on the assumption that plagioclase phenocrysts do not retain volatiles and/or are the product of late-stage crystallization. We have investigated the effects of post-entrapment processes on plagioclase-hosted MI in one plagioclase-ultraphyric basalt from the Blanco transform fault (offshore Oregon, USA). Our results demonstrate that plagioclase-hosted MI do not lose CO even after being heated to the entrapment temperature for 4 d. The reconstructed CO (glass + vapor) concentration in the MI indicates that the plagioclase megacrysts crystallized at depths equal to or below the local Moho, at minimum pressures of 230-910 MPa. Our results confirm that the plagioclase crystallized in the mantle, and that reliable trapping pressures can be obtained from MI in plagioclase following rehomogenization experiments.
